NEW HUNTER WORKSHOP: A chance to learn hunting 
basics from what to wear to field dressing game … 
ahead on Passport to Texas.

This is Passport to Texas 

When families began to migrate from rural Texas to 
urban Texas, they left behind some of their traditions.  

09— There are a lot of younger folks who weren’t introduced to 
hunting, and they would like to hunt. So, what we’re trying to do is 
get them started from the very basics.

Bill Balboa, Matagorda County Marine Extension Agent, 
is collaborating with TPW to offer a New Hunter 
Workshop on October 15 at the Nannie M. Stringfellow 
Wildlife Management Area in Brazoria County.

17—So, what we’re trying to do is get them started from the very 
basics: where you can hunt in Texas, public lands access, what you 
need to hunt in Texas to be legal. What kind of firearms you might 
need to hunt certain types of big game. Then, we’re actually going to 
do some hands on field dressing and skinning and processing.

No experience required, just a desire to learn this time 
honored tradition of humane harvest. 

14— There was a need for this, and TPW Wildlife Biologists agreed 
with me. So, that’s why we’re partnering to do this. And it’s going to 
be focused primarily on feral hogs, because they’re a nuisance. But 
dual purpose—food and eliminating the nuisance. So, that’s the gist 
of the whole deal.

The workshop is limited to the first 30 people. The cost 
is $50, which includes lunch. We have details at 
passporttotexas.org.

The Wildlife Restoration program supports our series.
